A Fresh Flower Blue
It's a fresh flower blue.
I wrap it in a sheet.
I love its scent, it's hues.
It sips the mist, the dew
and leaves an odor, treat
It's a fresh flower blue.
Its pets, the bees and crew
they meet, they greet, they eat.
I love its scent, its hues.
From dawn to dusk they woo
and bask in rain or heat.
It's a fresh flower blue.
There's a flower for you
There's one for me. A treat!
I love its scent, its hues.
The day I say adieu
I send you one so sweet.
It's a fresh flower blue
I love its scent, its hue. Agatha Lai

This week we have Sebastian Arellano's Cassowary.
When I first received these diagrams, I have to admit I was slightly disappointed reading through the folding sequence on page 2... until I saw where it was going! There is a very cool trick used to give the body its volume and shape. In fact, page 3 is just filled with great stuff! And how often do you see an origami Cassowary! Cassowary - Sebastian Arellano
The version in the photo above was folded by Sebastian himself. I folded one too, but I don't have any black paper ready, and white/yellow origami paper just could not do this giant wingless bird justice.
Enjoy!
And as always, we'd love to see your photos! Also, remember to return for next week's installment of Origami Weekly!

Happy Easter!
I designed the first version of this cross back in 2006. I've changed it a bit over the years, eventually happening upon 1/3 being the magic reference point that made all the flaps of desired width.
This simple-looking design contains quite a few treats for the folder. There is a tight closed-sink--it's not super difficult, but you have to be careful. Also, it uses three different locking procedures to keep it together.
Here are the diagrams:
Cross - Jared Needle
The version above was folded by me from a 6 inch square of origami paper.
As usual, thanks for being a part of Origami Weekly. Remember, we are always interested in seeing you all fold our work!
See you again next week!

It's April! For this week, Andrew Hudson has drawn diagrams of his Tiger Shark. It's from a frog base, and it contains a few tricky/fun maneuvers.
